CONCLUSION

Overall, this quarter showed 2-4 unit properties selling at faster rates than last quarter and considerably faster than last year. Interestingly, we are seeing a second quarter of mixed results in terms of price increases/decreases. Comparing YTD prices from last year to this year, there are still respectable gains in price. However, it is noticeably less impressive than in the past. This may be a further indication that the market is in a period of cooling. Although properties are still selling very quickly, that may be partially attributed to the reduction in overall activity and availability of desirable properties on the market. There are generally less 2-4 unit properties selling YTD than this time last year.

As always, market activity is a subject than can be discussed at length. For further discussion or for consultation regarding your next 2-4 unit purchase or sale, please don’t hesitate to call!
